CURRENT AFFAIRS FOR MAINS

Preparing for the Mains examination of the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) requires a thorough understanding of current affairs, as it is an important component of the General Studies paper. Here’s a strategy to help you prepare for current affairs for BPSC Mains:

1. Stay Updated Regularly: Start by making it a habit to stay updated with current affairs. Read newspapers, watch news channels, and follow reliable online news sources. Major newspapers like Dainik Jagran, Hindustan Times, The Times of India, and online portals like The Hindu and Livemint can be beneficial.
2. Utilize BPSC Syllabus: Refer to the BPSC Mains syllabus and note down the specific topics related to current affairs. This will give you a clear idea of what to focus on. The syllabus usually includes topics like national and international events, economic and social issues, government policies, and more.
3. Maintain a Notebook or Digital Notes: Keep a notebook or digital document to jot down important news and events. Categorize them according to the relevant subjects and topics in the BPSC syllabus. This will make it easier to revise later.
4. Monthly Magazine Subscriptions: Consider subscribing to monthly current affairs magazines or publications that provide comprehensive coverage of national and international events. These magazines often provide in-depth analysis and are tailored to the needs of competitive exam aspirants.
5. Online Resources: Online platforms, such as government websites, PIB (Press Information Bureau), Yojana, Kurukshetra, and PRS India, provide authentic and detailed information about government policies, schemes, and legislative updates. Visit these resources regularly.
